Just took a test drive in a 2007 MCI J4500 Motorhome Chasis...........WOW.................Very imperssive, ALL STAINLESS CHASIS - even the roof bows (stainless), roof panels (stainless), accelerates like a sports car, new suspension is incredible (hate to compare, but rides like an Eagle), I am truly impressed, we really drove it hard - passed with flying colors...................

Hey Rich did you happen to take any photos? What was the drivetrain combo? I love the look of the J series, to me it looks even better than the E's and it's great to hear it drove so well.

A friend drives on the side for a local company that has 3 of the J's, he loves them. He really likes the new ASTronic 10 speed and the 60 Series.

I can remember thinking how can they improve on an MC9. At the time I had 2 MC3's. Then the 102A3 came out, first drive, like you said WOW, that was 1986. So I can just imagine the improvements in a coach 21 years newer. Lucky you! Gives us dyed in the wool MCI guys something to strive for and dream about.

I had a chance to drive a 2004 J with Allison+Retarder and 60 series last week. Then today, a 2003 J with 10 speed ZF and Cat. Both are beautiful and drive like a charm. They'd make great converions. I drove them for a local company that is high on looks. One was blue with chrome mirror stripping. The other was red with gold mirror stripping. Awesome on looks and driviing. Hope you get chance to drive them as well.

RIGHT - Everyone wants to be me...............(Just long enough to get enough parts into there pickup). It is pretty cool sometimes to meet you all & see what you have done with your Coaches. Some pretty cool stuff out there...I can only imagine what some of you could do with that kind of chasis (new J4500).
